Understanding E-flite's Carbon-Z Technology

Z-Foam planes have become very popular in the hobby because of their robust durability and overall great flying qualities. They are easily repaired by the CA glues of today or with new spare parts, the choice is yours. E-flite brings you a new level of Z-Foam, called Carbon-Z. Using an entirely new design philosophy in the structure, Carbon-Z structure combines a blend of carbon, plywood, and Z-Foam. No longer are wings completely solid, with Carbon-Z they are molded in a built-up format with ribs to include a full composite structure inside to deliver rigidity only found in the past in higher-level wood model aircraft. This composite blend gives you the highest level of quality in a foam model to help deliver only the highest level of performance at the flying field. Because of the internal structure there is no maintenance, incredible strength, and great looks for the most demanding modelers.

World renowned Quique Somenzini has imbedded his expertise and knowledge into this new design. This technology currently has patents pending and is the future of lightweight, extreme performance foam aircraft. The Carbon-Z Yak 54 has been designed for extreme 3D flight, but as Quique explains, this technology could be used in models of all sizes. We believe after reviewing the incredible strength, rigidity, and great looks you will find this new level of technology is just what you have been waiting for.

Specifications:

• Exceptionally strong and lightweight Carbon-Z airframe
• High-performance prop optimized for precision and 3D flying
• Low friction carbon rod hinges
• Replaceable wings, stab, landing gear and control surfaces
• Quickly disassembles for transport or storage in the box
• 
  

NEW! Hawker Hurricane 25e from E-flite

 

Introducing the E-flite Hawker Hurricane 25e RC Plane available in BNF and PNP, is a bigger, more powerful warbird with classic scale details and features.

No fighter deserves more credit for saving Britain in its darkest hour than the Hawker Hurricane airplane. Its simple construction allowed it to be manufactured in large numbers and it could be quickly repaired in the field using basic tools. Despite being slower than the vaunted Spitfire, the Hurricane could out turn many of the enemy fighters it faced and bring its eight Browning machine guns to bear with devastating effect. This surprising maneuverability combined with its sheer numbers are two big reasons the humble Hurricane shot down more enemy aircraft in the Battle of Britain than any other Allied fighter. Now you can experience the thrill of flying the Hurricane with this remarkably scale Plug-N-Play or Bind-N-Fly park flyer from E-flite. Constructed of tough Z-Foam™ material, the Hurricane 25e RC Plane comes out of the box with a high-output brushless power system, digital servos and functional flaps already installed; BNF models with also have a Spektrum DSM receiver installed. Even the authentic RAF No. 1 Squadron paint scheme has been applied. All that’s left to complete is a few minutes of final assembly. Then, just install the receiver and battery pack of your choice and fly. You also get the option of adding E-flite 15-25 Size 90-Degree Electric Retracts (EFLG200 – sold separately). Installation is easy and when you’re done you’ll have a unique, scale warbird that will be the envy of the flying field.

New Release! The Losi TEN SCT-E 4x4 Electric Roller

We’ve been big fans of the TEN-T since we first saw it and have always thought that platform could be adapted to so many other vehicles. The first variant was the 810, a 1/8-scale buggy version of the TEN-T chassis. The latest edition to the TEN-family is perhaps the most exciting. Capitalizing on the popularity of the 4WD Short Course Class, Losi has taken this versatile platform and retrofitted it for use in this class with the debut of the TEN-SCTE.

Combining what was great about the TEN-T and 810 with some Short Course Truck magic, the TEN-SCTE promises to be one of the dominate chassis in this class. Losi’s Ryan Dunford was key in developing, first the 810, and now the TEN-SCTE. Ryan was kind enough to spend some time with us recently to talk about how the TEN-SCTE came into being, some of the design challenges, what this truck does so well and some options that are out there for this truck along with the 810 and the TEN-T. We’re sure you’re going to be just as excited as we are for the TEN-SCTE.
